XP only shows when a document was created, last opened, and last saved. It
has no concept of a page within a document as a separate entity.

Sorry, I should have written "webpage", I am sure I have read somewhere that
there is a string to type in the address box which then shows the date and
time the webpage was updated but can't remember where I saw it.

I see. My knowledge of such matters is very limited. You might see it in
IE if you tell it to view the source.

Yes, there is but it is not very useful in the case of dynamic HTML.
Also, I think it may be affected by a known bug in the IE7 History
